Why could the mass of argon be greater than the mass of potassium even though it has a lower atomic number?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lesya [120]3 years ago
6 0

The mass given on the periodic table is the weighted average of the abundance of isotopes. Because heavier isotopes (more neutrons) of argon are more abundant than potassium's, by pure statistics, argon will appear with a greater mass on the periodic table.


in easy way

we can also say :- Argon has  greater proportions of heavier isotopes with more neutrons than potassium.

What is the pH of the solution in which the [H+] is 1.0 × 10–4 mol/L ?
ddd [48]
PH is a simplified observation of the acidity of a solution, defined as the -log [H+] (negative logarithm of the hydrogen concentration).

-log[10^-4] = 4

The pH of this solution is 4.

If 3.0 moles of x and 4.0 moles of y react according to the hypothetical reaction below, how many moles of the excess reactant w
Lesechka [4]
Firstly the limiting reactant should be identified. Limiting reactant is the reactant that is in limited supply, the amount of product formed depends on the moles present of the limiting reactant.

the stoichiometry of x to y = 1:2
1 mole of x reacts with 2 moles of y
if x is the limiting reactant, there are 3 moles of x, then 6 moles of y should react, however there are only 4 moles of y. Therefore y is the limiting reactant and x is in excess.
4 moles of y reacts with 2 moles of x 
since there are 3 moles of x initially and only 2 moles are used up, excess amount of x is 1 mol thats in excess.

When the metallic element sodium combines with the nonmetallic element bromine (Br2), is the product a solid, liquid, or gas at
Luden [163]

Answer: it is a solid at room temperature.

Explanation:

The ions of the two reactants are Na{+} and Br{-}, so the formula of the product is NaBr.  

and when the NaCl is a solid a room temperature. and when NaBr has similar properties to NaCl, so NaBr is a solid at room temperature too.

so our chemical formula for the product is NaBr and It's a solid at room temperature.

BALANCE the equation
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

1. 4FeCl3 + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 6Cl2

2. 6 moles of Cl2

Explanation:

1. The balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

4FeCl3 + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 6Cl2

2. Determination of the number of mole of Cl2 produce when 4 moles of FeCl3 react with 4 moles. To obtain the number of mole of Cl2 produced, we must determine which reactant is the limiting reactant.

This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of FeCl3 reacted with 3 moles of O2.

Since lesser amount of O2 (i.e 3 moles) than what was given (i.e 4 moles) is needed to react completely with 4 moles of FeCl3, therefore FeCl3 is the limiting reactant and O2 is the excess reactant.

Finally, we can obtain the number of mole Cl2 produced from the reaction as follow:

Note: the limiting reactant is used as it will produce the maximum yield of the reaction since all of it is used up in the reaction.

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of FeCl3 will react to produced 6 moles of Cl2.
